In fetal transposition of the great arteries and hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a higher UA-PI in the third trimester, suggestive of placental insufficiency but not MCA-PI, is associated with worse 2-year growth and neurodevelopment outcomes.
Background: Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at risk of adverse long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes, believed to be, in part, secondary to prenatal insults. Placental pathology and altered fetal middle cerebral arterial (MCA) flow suggestive of brain sparing have been documented in fetal CHD. In the present study we investigated the relationship between MCA and umbilical arterial (UA) flow patterns in fetal transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) and hypo plastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and growth and 2-year neurodevelopmental outcomes. Methods: We included children with d-TGA and HLHS who had third-trimester fetal echocardiograms between 2004 and 2014, at which time umbilical artery (UA) and MCA pulsatility indices (PIs) were measured, and who underwent 2-year growth and neurodevelopmental assessments. Results: We identified 24 children with d-TGA and 36 with HLHS. Mean age at fetal echocardiography was 33.8 +/- 3.5 weeks. At 2-year follow-up, head circumference z score (standard deviation [SD]) was -0.09 (1.07) and 0.17 (1.7) for the d-TGA and HLHS groups, respectively. Bayley III mean (SD) cognitive, language, and motor scores were 97.7 (10.8), 94.7 (13.4), and 98.6 (8.6) for the d-TGA group and 90.3 (13.9), 87.2 (17.5), and 85.3 (16.2) for the HLHS group. On multi-variate linear regression analysis, UA-PI was associated (effect sizes [95% CI]) with length (-1.45 [-2.7, -0.17], P = 0.027), weight (-1.46 [-2.6 to -0.30], P = 0.015) and cognitive scores (-14.86 [-29.95 to 0.23], P = 0.05) at 2 years of age. MCA PI showed no statistically significant correlation. Conclusions: In fetal d-TGA and HLHS, a higher UA-PI in the third trimester, suggestive of placental insufficiencydbut not MCA-PI-is associated with worse 2-year growth and neurodevelopment.
